-1. Add cartesian products to random_eja().
+1. Add references and start citing them.
 
-2. Add references and start citing them.
+2. Profile (and fix?) any remaining slow operations.
 
-3. Implement the octonion simple EJA. We don't actually need octonions
-   for this to work, only their real embedding (some 8x8 monstrosity).
+3. When we take a Cartesian product involving a trivial algebra, we
+   could easily cache the identity and charpoly coefficients using
+   the nontrivial factor. On the other hand, it's nice that we can
+   test out some alternate code paths...
 
-4. Pre-cache charpoly for some small algebras?
+4. Add dimension bounds on any tests over AA that compute element
+   subalgebras.
 
-RealSymmetricEJA(4):
+5. The rational_algebra() stuff doesn't really belong in classes that
+   don't derive from RationalBasisEJA or its as-yet-nonexistent
+   element class.

-5. Profile the construction of "large" matrix algebras (like the
-   15-dimensional QuaternionHermitianAlgebra(3)) to find out why
-   they're so slow.
-
-6. Instead of storing a basis multiplication matrix, just make
-   product_on_basis() a cached method and manually cache its
-   entries. The cython cached method lookup should be faster than a
-   python-based matrix lookup anyway. NOTE: we should still be able
-   to recompute the table somehow. Is this worth it?

-7. What the ever-loving fuck is this shit?

-       sage: O = Octonions(QQ)
-       sage: e0 = O.monomial(0)
-       sage: e0*[[[[]]]]
-       [[[[]]]]*e0

-8. In fact, could my octonion matrix algebra be generalized for any
-   algebra of matrices over the reals whose entries are not real? Then
-   we wouldn't need real embeddings at all. They might even be fricking
-   vector spaces if I did that...
-
-9. Add HurwitzMatrixAlgebra subclass between MatrixAlgebra and
-   OctonionMatrixAlgebra.
+6. Add special det/trace method overrides for the algebras where we
+   know them? The only reason this might be tricky is because the
+   obvious solution is to subclass EJAElement, but then we might
+   collide with e.g. the Cartesian product element subclass.
